Potential
The force that pulls an organization forward
toward something greater than today
If your organization is high in potential, it will show up in the mindsets and behaviors of
your senior leaders all the way through your frontline employees. You'll feel a sense of
collective hope and optimism about the future. There's likely a persistent drive toward
growth and new opportunities, with employees innovating, embracing challenges, and
persevering despite setbacks or adversity.
With this collective growth mindset, employees see obstacles and even failures as
opportunities for growth and learning.3
Leaders demonstrate that they believe in the
inherent strengths of people by giving employees the space to stretch, experiment,
and grow so they can perform at their best.
Security
The sense of safety (physical, financial, cyber, psychological)
experienced by employees within an organization
Psychological safety has profound impacts on organizational health, employee engagement,
and workplace performance.4
Do leaders in your organization communicate transparently
about the performance of the business and its outlook? Do they communicate if and
when internal or market dynamics threaten the organization's stability, along with plans
for weathering the storm? If so, your organization may be high in security.
Highly secure organizations have generous levels of trust, transparency, flexibility, and
autonomy; indicators include open and respectful exchange of ideas, diverse perspectives,
and an abundance mindset. Leaders create a safe environment where employees feel
secure enough to stretch, question assumptions, experiment with new ways of working,
and achieve their potential.
3 Factors Fostering a Growth Mindset in Organizations, Karlsson & Eckerwall, 2021
4 Managing the Risk of Learning: Psychological Safety in Work Teams, Amy Edmondson, 2022
The six needs of healthy, high-performing organizations are naturally in tension with one another. Overly prioritizing or focusing on one
need (or a set of needs) can create systemic imbalances at any point in an organization's evolution. This can be particularly profound in
high-growth organizations, which may emphasize innovating (doubling down on potential, purpose, and capability) yet give insufficient
attention to necessary resources, security, and connection to ground it-like structures and people systems built to scale.
